CASSIUS - THE STORY OF A COURAGEOUS POLICE DOG
by
Gordon Thorburn
Publisher: John Blake Publishing Ltd
Edition: 2010 Paperback, 241 pages
ISBN: 9781844549856
Summary:
The story of Cassius (GSD) is by turns thrilling, funny, and moving, and always
a fascinating insight into the freemasonry of police dog training "from
the other side of the pond".
Cassius was a truly exceptional police dog whose career became the stuff of
legend and the gold standard for all dogs coming after. In just five years
he scored a century of arrests, saved lives, bit half a dozen policemen, and
gave his handler, PC Joe Sleightholm, the most exciting, exhilarating, and
nerve-wracking times of his life. Things did not go according to plan in
Sleightholm's first years as a police dog handler. The difficulties of finding
and keeping the right dog were so great that he was ready to give up. Then Cass
came along. The two of them quickly formed a bond, graduated as stars from
the training school, and became an outstandingly effective working partnership.
Cass became part of the Sleightholm family, too. Car thieves, armed robbers,
drug dealers, murderers, burglars--Cassius learned to find them, contain them,
intimidate, and attack if he had to. Sometimes it was dangerous for him.
Usually it was more dangerous for the criminal.
